About Me

I once published an essay entitled, “What Language Do You Speak?” The point of the essay was that each of us speaks a unique language based on our demographic characteristics, education, and experience. So, I am a 70+-year old, Wharton-school trained graduate, B.S. in Economics, plus 30 graduate credits in Quantitative Economics, who returned to graduate school after 20 years of higher ed teaching and administration, to earn a doctorate in education and begin a second and third career, initially in technology in the private sector, than as a K-12 educator, eventually as a superintendent of schools and finally a COO/CFO for a large non-profit publisher and professional development organization, Along the way, I spent ten years in experiential education, started four alternative schools, and edited a compendium of best practices in K-12 education. I’ve been a computer user since 1953, and involved in online learning and instructional technology for more than 30 years.

Funki Voki

Every once in a while you stumble across something so funky that you just have to try it. I can't believe I spent nearly an hour tweaking the image, adding a background photo (my house), and recording a message.

Voki is free; a much more powerful commercial version is found at SitePal
